[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody has mentioned the amazing brain research that shows 80% of a child’s brain is wired by age 3 and 90% by age 5. It suddenly seems very important to invest in “quality time” at an age when, in previous generations, kids were still assumed to be blobs. [/quote]

This is a really good point. It’s the main reason I outsource a lot and spend most of the time I’m at home engaged with my DD instead of cooking/cleaning. Once she hits elementary school, I’ll start to pick up more housework again.[/quote]

Good luck with that. Once your child sees you as their personal entertainer, it’s hard to go back. [/quote]

NP but I also outsource what I can (cleaners every two weeks, Church morning daycare 2x/wk ) and SAH with my 3 year old. I don’t see a problem with what PP wrote. I’m assuming she does her daily dishes and cooks breakfast and lunch for herself and her child. I do that and my son gets plenty of play and free time but also helps with chores. It’s perfectly possible to set limits even when you stay at home, no need to be a “personal entertainer.”[/quote]
